Marivaldo’s most important job is the rescue of ancestrality, collective conscious and cultural heritage.
He belongs to the third generation of ceramists and became a specialist in reproducing archeological pieces from Goeldi Museum, most known as Marajoara art.
The original ceramics are from 1.400 – 400 A.C. and were made by the original inhabitants of the Marajó Island.
To take as faithful as it is possible to the original tradition, Marivaldo molds the clay with his own hands. Even the patterns on them are free-hand drawing, his complex traces and graphics.
Marivaldo’s ceramics are more than just a reproduction, they are a dialog with the past for the creation of a legacy for the future generations.
